The following clipping from the
Murray Sun will be Of interest tc
miners:
"Dave England and Charley Flandis
two OF the old "Widow" boys, returned
from u prospecting trip to the head oi
the Clearwater on Thursday evening.
Mr.. England brought with him some
of the finest gold dust ever
seen here. OF which he sold
SOB worth to the Bank OF
Murray and several ounces worth of
small nuggets to Mr.. Blakesly OF
Thompson. The dust and nuggets
were thoroughly washed and rolled
gold without speck of quartz and
were worth $3.50 an ounce while
the best of our gold is only valued
at SIT so an ounce. The diggings
are in this country fully 100 miles
southeast of Murry at the head OF
the Clearwater liver, along the lowest
portion of which placer mining has
been dope for twenty years. Mr.,
England told Sun reporter that the
diggings were shallow, not going be-
low four feet in depth so far as pros.
pected. They were not rich, but good
wages could be made He and his
companion will winter here and re-
turn in the spring. There are no
roads nor trails to the camp for the
greater part of the distance, and the
trip to the mines is said to be ex-
tremely difficult. Considerable of the
territory remains to be explored, which
shows what magnificent mining
field Shoshone county is with its 5000
square miles Of placers, quartz silver,
lead, timber, farming lands, etc.

best means of booming the city, and
hoped that tho ordinance would be

ance be considered by sections.

Hoover moved that il be amended by
striking out everything in reference to

because he did not think it was right
to sacrifice the entire street to railways
The horse railway already had right
to lay track on the street, and if both
companies should use their privileges
the street would be spoiled. After con-
siderable discussion the amendment
was carried.

CITY POLITICS.

The selection of delegates to the Roa-
noke Convention has some relation to
local affairs.
II has been proclaimed that a feature
of the policy, not OF the Democracy OF
Virginia, but OF the temporary leaders, Is
to boycott the citizens who choose to
pay taxes with coupons, which they have
a right TO do. Now the city of Rich
mond has had cause to know what boy
cotting by a secret society means II
means that you cannot carry on your
business under protection Of the law, but
must ask the permission OF the society,
before whom you cannot even appear.
or. in other words, ii means that law Is
to be dominated by a secret society,
and those who object to it are to be made
the victims Of a conspiracy which might
ruin anybod, who objects OF course
the common sense and honesty OF the
American people will not stand this long.
But in the meantime the leaders of the
Democracy of Virginia have virtually
formed a coalition With the boycotters,
against the rights Of the citizens, under the
laws OF the United States This sets the
example. or rather follows 1t, and if
the policy Il carried out it is well
for the people OF Richmond TO know
at this very moment that the
authority and power Of the State
will be pledged to the infamous idea that
would put the freedom of every citizen
in the hands of secret conclave. The
boycotters who conspire to ruin your
business cannot be punished if the party
that holds power Is in collision.
Now lot the citizens Of Richmond look
to it, and see that men are sent to the
State convention who are representative
Of conservative and healthy sentiment.
The power lies in the honest and intel
ligent elements. Let all men OF all classes
think of the possibility that might put
the community under the heel OF a set OF
boycotters licensed by the demagogues.

The corner in cotton shows how such
combinations affect trade by raising the
price arbitrarily and decreasing the eX-
